2014 PPG Patient Experience & Communication
The Practice has carried out patient surveys, with the help of our Patient Participation Group, throughout 2013 to gain insight into patient opinion of access/care/prescriptions process. As a result we are now in the process of making necessary changes to improve the service we provide.
· We have introduced a new appointment system called Dr First which enables patients to have contact with the person most qualified to assess their needs and arrange face to face contact as necessary.
· We have also changed the way our prescription team work to provide a more efficient service to our patients.
This survey is focusing on “Improving Communication” and “Improving Patient Experience” as per the terms of reference that the Patient Participation Group works towards. Please refer to our PPG page on the surgery website for more details www.stocktonheathmedicalcentre.co.uk
